Genesis 31:37-47 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

37. for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both.

38. `These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten;

39. the torn I have not brought in unto thee--I, I repay it--from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;

40. I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes.

41. `This [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times;

42. unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'

43. And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, `The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters--what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born?

44. and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.'

45. And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;

46. and Jacob saith to his brethren, `Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;

47. and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.
